I left my home so long ago
so many places I wanted to go,
Years went by and now I know
I was on the road to midnight.
 
I didn't bother looking back
always thought I was on the right track,
Going from place to place
with a pack on my back,
On the road to midnight.
 
Now I feel tired and old
lonely and cold,
With no one to love
no one to hold,
The whiskey and rum
has taken it's toll
on the road to midnight.
 
The pack that I carry
is all that I own,
Now I'm trying to make it home
and settle down, too long I've roamed
on the road to midnight.
 
Tomorrow the sun will shine again
am I too late, too late to begin
a life with you, when the day is new
away from the road to midnight.
